Artist Mark Storor has worked extensively with FACT’s award winning Veterans in Practice (VIP) programme, which aims to encourage local ex-servicemen and women to get involved in creative projects. VIP members participated in Storor’s project The Barometer of My Heart, which was produced through creative workshops with men in religious, military, sports and corporate settings, and men attending erectile dysfunction clinics.

As part of The Simplicity of Truth, FACT is running a series of short creative workshops, which explore ideas behind The Simplicity of Truth. Delivered by VIP member Jay Bell and artist Mark Storor, the workshops will comprise of a brief overview and discussion around the exhibition, and suggestions for going forward with a new understanding of masculinity.

The FREE workshops take place at FACT, and the first round of workshops are open to any and all men. Participants can have as much or as little input as they wish, and workshops will be informal, relaxed and about sharing differing views.
